Hugs to you too! Sounds like you had an awful experience too. I wish the mental health field was better but it's not. I've had 4 therapists and 3 of them sucked horribly and the other one quit after 3 visits. Now I'm on my 5th therapist and he's just a social worker and I'll only be working with him for 3 months. Then I have to switch therapists again. I'm already going to start looking for a psychiatrist that actually specializes in adhd and bipolar/schizoaffective in the area I'm going to move to in three months because I don't want to have to deal with a pdoc who clearly hates me for 3 months. He's not going to help me one bit other than maybe diagnose me with schizoaffective. But I don't care about that, I care about the adhd because that's what's ruining my life right now even though I'm stable otherwise. I just can't get by in school or at work because of my inattention/focus problems.
